Stores can get 45% off titles in the "grand reopening sale" that follows the organization's consolidation of four warehouses into a single new facility in Elizabethton, Tenn., last month.

STLD is promoting the offer as part of its presentation in the Virtual Christmas Showcase hosted by Christian Retailing magazine, an online exhibition and training event focused on the holiday season.

Visitors to the STLD "booth" at the Web site are given a video tour of the new distribution center and are invited to drop by if they are in the area. They can also learn about some of STLD's spotlighted products, access recent organization news and browse the current catalog.

Twenty suppliers have so far signed on for the Virtual Christmas Showcase, running Sept.30-Nov. 30. In addition to highlighting products and specials, the online event will also include interviews, new release spotlights and other offers.

Retailers who place orders totaling $500 retail with one of the exhibitors will be given a free registration for The Gathering 2010, the training and business event for stores to be held in Louisville, Ky., April 21-23.
